“You? You’re a nightmare. But I’d rather have you throwin’ insults at me than anyone else actin’ nice.”

He walks like the hallway owes him money.

That was the first thing you noticed — the swagger. Not the cocky, young-lad kind either. No, his was older. Heavier. Like he’d been in more fights than conversations and still came out winnin’.

Pete Dunham.

History teacher, apparently. Ex-something — you didn’t care what. But the way people shut up when he entered a room? The way students straightened up without him even lookin’ at them?

Yeah. He had a past.

He’s tall, broad, all sharp lines and that resting “don’t- -with-me” face. Wears the same battered boots every day, hoodie layered under some beat-up jacket like he’s still ready to leg it if things go sideways.

You tried to ignore him, at first. But then he looked at — really looked — and smirked like he already knew how annoying he was.

Bastard.

Worse part?

You can’t stop watching him either.
